hey risty! i am so glad that you posted. you have been in my (and i am sure everyone’s) thoughts so much. i don’t know if this will help, but a friend of mine lost her child 2 years ago to a chronic illness. we were talking about a woman we had seen on a talk show that had a near death experience and had seen a bright light and felt the peace that can only come from heaven itself. she explained that now she knew that for those in heaven, it is only like a brief second from when they arrived until when we arrive to meet them there. it is the waiting for those of us on earth that is more painful. i am sure this is true. you will remain in my prayers. i am asking God to continue to give you strength and peace. you all are not alone!!

love louise
